Hey guys,

I recently installed Backgrounder and I will probably use it very rarely, so I'm wondering, with the application installed and not actually running any apps in the background, is it still eating my memory up?

I heard this program is a serious memory hog, I'm on a 3G.

I'm pretty sure it uses almost no memory when not in use. It's really the backgrounded processes that are the memory hogs.
 
It will use a tiny bit, because otherwise how do you activate it? But by tiny, I mean by an unnoticeable amount.
